The next morning, Tanza wonders why she is so grumpy about the part she has been asked to play. Tanza tells her that she has always been pretty, and that she and Trepide have polished up their pride together. She tells Tanza to get straight to the reading of the script, because there is no place in the script that is out of order. She says that if she still had the ugly face on, she would never experience the joy in her life. She asks Tanza if she is okay, and Tanza says that she is. She goes on to say that she looks into the history of the actress on stage, and she has high hopes for her in the play. When Tanza asks her to stop crying, she says that her face stole from her in advance, so she just has to keep going. She thanks Tanza for giving her the part, and says she will feel better after the performance
